Okay actually, this will kill the website.
All the artists are leaving.

The ban covers more than just NSFW content, it covers anything "questionable".
RIP I suppose.

Nah, the absolutely massive iOS userbase that Tumblr is doing this for will surely keep them afloat

Edit: Apparently Yahoo owns Tumblr and they did something like this to Geocities in the past mostly because they refuse to moderate their sites. The issue was with research bots and Yahoo's inability to filter bots from users so this is their roundabout solution to it.

From what i've heard prior to this announcement, it's because Apple was taking Tumblr off of their app store due to mature content, so Tumblr's removing that so they can stay on their app store and keep their iOS userbase

Holy stuff, and I thought YouTube was committing Insta-Self Delete.

Ironically this could have been titled:
Tumblr forgets an entire community

I mean, I can understand wanting to clean up the site, but this looks like they're ripping out the guts and heart of the site. No female nips? Bitch ahve you seen your own site that's literally 99% of the content
